Charlie Batch, former NFL quarterback, has kept ties in his hometown by co-founding the Pittsburgh-based sports medicine technology company, Impellia, along with Richard Walker, an attorney and marketing executive and Dave Morin, health care technology entrepreneur and international speaker on health care technology. Impellia has signed three different technologies from the University of Pittsburgh to the company so far.
Impellia focuses on preventing injuries, human-performance and rehabilitation through technology. The company partners with universities and researchers from across the country to help commercialize and market their designs to help improve the performance of both elite athletes and everyday people.
